Chapter 829: Right about you

The ride to their destination was consumed by a stifling silence. Dominic chose not to respond to Dane’s remarks, and Dane remained silent thereafter. Bear, seated in the driver’s position, couldn’t help but notice the unfamiliar tension in the vehicle.
Even upon reaching their destination, Bear continued to observe Dominic from the sidelines. As his bodyguard, it was his duty to keep a vigilant eye on him. However, today felt different.
"He’s acting as if nothing concerns him," Bear thought, shifting his gaze from Dominic to someone standing nearby.

Dane stood at a distance from where the event was taking place, wearing a plain expression that concealed his thoughts. This wasn’t the first time Dane had worn such a face. Having worked closely with Dominic, Bear had come to realize that Dane wasn’t always as passive as he appeared. There were moments when Dane exhibited seriousness, boldness, even cunningness. He embodied the traits expected of Dominic’s assistant: capable, dependable, and formidable. Most of the time, at least. It was no surprise that Dominic had kept him by his side for years.
"Even so..." Bear murmured, his attention fixed on Dane’s inscrutable demeanor. "... even when he wears that expression normally, something feels off."
Bear couldn’t quite point his finger at it, but looking at Dane was unsettling him now.
